A curved bridge in a small town frames a timeless stone church. A spark in my imagination turns a smile. I am looking at a castle on the Rhine River or am I in Venice.
Forget that I am beneath a poorly drained, decaying concrete railroad bridge in Red Lion, Pennsylvania... for a moment I am dreaming.
This is the beauty of rail trails.
It's a moment of peace beyond the bustle of life. It's a new view on the world.
It's potential.
It's a preservation of history, a preservation of green space; a preservation of a corridor of land for common use now and for the future.
The Red Lion Mile rail trail will run from the railroad station and museum on Main Street in Red Lion through the borough west, through some current and former industrial sites into fields and woods near Springwood Road.
Your donation during a free, benefit concert this Saturday will help continue this dream.
The video is a tour of the trail with music by two of the artists who will be performing for the benefit concert. A map to the concert and the trail is included.
Nice job. Makes me want to be there, even if it's only Red Lion.
